I'd say 25-30 to be safe lol. 25 or under you can blame on still being a "kid".I'd take this a step further and say that it's embarrassing for anyone over 20.
I've heard of American Football but that's it. Thanks!American Football

The other half of people alive seem to think they're the best thing ever, so yes they can haha!
Their stage aesthetic has somehow led people to believe they're playing metal, even though they're clearly not (not playing metal obviously doesn't make them bad, but this shows how much people's view of the band is warped by the aesthetic). Equally, it somehow makes people think the music is far better than it is. Ditch the costumes etc. and their reputation would be limited to "Swedish rock band with one catchy song".
I would, but we don't want you sitting in the corner being emo. Lol.My hot take is Midwest emo is better than metal. Fight me about it.

Ehh you're pretty right, I've kinda lumped a lot of those math bands into the genre Tera Melos, Giraffes? Giraffes! etc..How is Don Caballero Midwest Emo?
Propagandhi go harder than most metal bands.
The guitarist from Billy Talent is a riff monster and a hell of a player.Propagandhi and Billy Talent go harder than most metal bands.
His live version of Hot For Teacher is great, shame the crowd couldn't have cared less but I can't blame them for having no idea what's happening lol.Brad Paisley is a better shredder than 95% of metal shredders.
OOOH DAS SPICYSpencer's vocals for Periphery are the only good thing about Periphery.
12 pages later and there's STILL people thinking shitting on Ghost is a hot take? Jesus fucking Christ, this place some times.
This thread is either the most obvious metal opinions, or people trying to bait.
I guess I can kind of see it from the Twinkly Guitars(TM) angle, but other than that I don't hear it. I kinda thought vocals were a requirement in the genre.Ehh you're pretty right, I've kinda lumped a lot of those math bands into the genre Tera Melos, Giraffes? Giraffes! etc..
Damn, bro. You went hard with this one. Lol. Any evidence of this you wish to present?Brad Paisley is a better shredder than 95% of metal shredders.
